Time with God

This report is from Francis Mbuvi:

One of our greatest desires is to see our students develop a closer relationship with Jesus. Our classes, chapel and Church have provided the basis for it and we continue to seek other ways to lead them to God. We took a trip to one of our properties called Mountain view and asked each student and team member available to spend time in prayer.

Each person spent time either talking to God aloud or in their hearts, but whichever way they did it, it was more time with God. When we met together, Jackton read some scriptures and encouraged us to leave the burdens to Jesus. Just like we loved praying we also loved the lunch. On our way home, we saw some giraffes and Thompson gazelles!!! How great is our God!!!

Note from Charles Coulston: The property at Mountain View is 40 acres and is located near the top of a mountainous area about 40 minutes drive from Kamulu. Part of it is rock and a cliff face and part has grass and scrub trees growing. There is a spring on the property that may provide enough water for groups. We dream that one day we will build a camp for youth and others to use for retreats and seminars and "time with God." Please pray that this can become a reality one day. We will need to have a water tank, solar or generator power, kitchen and residence areas, as well as a sports field. This has been done many times before by people committed to have a place for youth to grow in spirit and in relationships, so we know we can do this, with God's blessing.
